Kirklees Council
Kirklees Council's Recruitment Department can assist with various employment-related queries. You can inquire about job vacancies, the application process, and recruitment policies. Additionally, you can check the status of submitted applications or request recruitment documentation such as job descriptions and necessary forms. These services are available Monday to Friday during office hours. The Resourcing Team handles these queries, and during remote working periods, phone contact is recommended for guidance on written correspondence. While wait times can vary, calling during mid-morning or mid-afternoon may reduce hold times.

Known issues
Occasional delays may occur due to the Recruitment Team working remotely, especially during COVID-19. It is advisable to call for guidance on the best postal address to use for written correspondence. If you experience delays, consider calling during less busy times, such as mid-morning. Alternatively, sending an email to jobs@kirklees.gov.uk with your enquiry and contact details can be effective. Ensure you attach any relevant documents if needed. This approach may help in getting a quicker response.
